WhisperWarm FV-11VHL2 110 CFM, Ceiling Mount Fan/Heater

Add room-warming comfort to chilly mornings. WhisperWarm™ heats up in one minute to bring quick comfort to a chilly bathroom. This ceiling mount fan/heater is smaller, quieter, warmer, and easier to install. It does a great job if you live in an older home and there's no heat at all in the bathrooms. Whether you run an assisted living facility and want to provide extra comfort to your residents or you're a residential remodeler looking to squeeze extra value into a bathroom, we have the solution. WhisperWarm™ slips comfortably into 2x8 construction, which makes it an ideal choice for bathroom remodeling and renovations.

High-Tech Heating Element

WhisperWarm features a Durable 1400W stainless steel sheathed heating element that includes Nichrome wire with magnesium oxide for optimal heat transfer, and electrical insulation at elevated temperatures. WhisperWarm includes thermal fuse protection on the motor and 3-level safety device for the heater.

Long Life Means Reduced Costs

When you have a household or business to run, you don't want to have to replace little things like a vent fan. Panasonic fans use less energy to move larger volumes of air than other brands. Consequently, Panasonic fans run cooler so they last longer. They are also much less likely to overheat and result in motor failure. The motor is also equipped with a thermal-cutoff fuse. *WhisperWarm does require a minimum 20 Amp dedicated circuit. For optimum performance, install heater no more than 8 feet from floor to ceiling.

CFL Lighting Efficiency

Energy efficient lighting is an important part of the latest codes and standards, so Panasonic fans incorporate the most efficient CFL lamps available. WhisperWarm incorporates (2) 13W, self-ballasted GU24 base, ENERGY STAR® rated CFL lamps that squeeze out more lumens per watt (greater than 70 LPW!) than other manufacturers do. A 4-watt night light is also included.

Great product but ONE INSTALLATION SUGGESTION -I replaced an existing "noisy" Broan 70cfm fan/light/heater combo unit that was in for roughly 5-6 years. I decided it was time to replace it with this quieter Panasonic version with more air moving capabilities. The installation went well EXCEPT for one item: Unless you have very small hands, use the SNAP IN romex connectors such as Arlington NM74 or NM94 connectors. Helix snap in connectors from Home Depot work well too. DO NOT USE standard metal screw in 3/8" romex connectors. It's almost impossible to get the lock nuts on these unless you pre-install them before mounting the fan. The wiring compartment is also a bit crowded but all in all it went well for me. Does a great job with ventilation and the heater output far surpasses that of the former Broan unit. I also replaced the CFL lamps that come with the unit with LED's. I just like LED better than CFL's.

Major Upgrade!Replaced a good quality old bathroom fan/heater with FV-11VHL2 + timer switch.
Major improvement in Every regard. Much better light, moves Way More air, heater puts out lots more heat a lot Faster.
First few times I turned it on, I thought something was wrong with it because it was so quiet!
The timer switch is much more convenient. Fan doesn't accidentally get left on.
Been in use about 2 years, no problems.

Good Fan And LightEverything was straight forward on the installation except for the wiring. Even an electrician friend of mine said the instructions were very unclear. The problem is, if you get confused by the poor wiring instructions, you could potentially damage the unit. Operationally, the fan, light, and heater work great. Very quiet and moves a lot of air. The light does a good job of illuminating even a fairly large bathroom.

model FV-11VHL2I bought this expensive fan 8 years ago and the vent has already gone out. I previously had a cheaper fan/heater unit and it lasted 26 years. I am extremely disappointed in this product and I am sure that a less expensive model would work just as well, if not better. I would not recommend this fan, especially since the price has almost doubled since my purchase.

Great BuyI bought this heater fan & light combo & could not be more pleased. A little advice, make sure you wire it before you install it. Also, do not use the wire holes on the side or you won't be able to install it through the opening. Very quite and the heater really kicks out some heat! The two lights are too bright for me so I am using just one. It comes with both lights, so now I have a back up. The night light is a very nice option if you chose to use it. Great Buy! A little pricey though but worth it...
